The DJ MAG TOP 100 POLL returns this year with voting to commence on Wednesday, August 16th. After more than a decade, [for better or for worse] this definitive guide is used all over the world to determine DJ popularity, bookings and the ever-increasing DJ rates.

Proving dance music is far from dead, 124,000 dance fanatics from 147 countries voted in last year. That was a third up on the previous year, and we’re predicting the a further surge this time round, as voting
couldn’t be easier. Navigate your way to www.djmag.com and make your feelings known.

This year’s the poll is slightly different. For the first time ever, DJ Mag will be giving out more gongs than ever before. As well as the all-important No. 1 DJ in the World accolade, there will be awards for the following categories:

BEST HOUSE DJ – BEST TECHNO DJ – BEST HARD DANCE DJ – BEST DRUM & BASS DJ - BEST BREAKBEAT DJ – BEST ELECTRO DJ – HIGHEST CLIMBER –HIGHEST NEW ENTRY

Will the mighty Paul van Dyk be robbed of his crown? Will Tiesto creep back and regain his throne after his controvesial slight on DJ Mag and the ensuing backlash*? Or will one of the new kids shoot up from behind and turn the whole thing on its head?

Voting opens on Wednesday, 16th August, with a celebratory launch party on Thursday, August 17th at top industry hang-out AKA in London. DJ Magazine have confirmed a stellar DJ line-up to see you through the evening that includes the genre screwing duo of COBURN, the mind battering STANTON WARRIORS, the REKIDS present: RADIO SLAVE & TOBY TOBIAS, and more to be confirmed.
